XLD - OS X ripper with disabled cache and AccurateRip

Sorry if you see this post on Hydrogenaudio...too excited so I just C&P'd it. XLD which has long been my converter of choice recently added the ability to rip with CDParanoia. Been there, seen that on the long, long journey to secure ripping on a Mac.

Well, its ripper has matured very quickly:

"What's new in this version:

* Supported AccurateRip database to check integrity of the ripped tracks To use, read offset correction value should be correct (please refer to here). Not available when pregaps are excluded.
* Added option to disable cache of the drive Cache should be disabled to rip in cdparanoia mode.
* Added support for CRC calculation Both the standard CRC and the EAC-compatible one are displayed.
* Improved log display format"

If it really can do what it says on the tin, well it's pretty big news.

OK, so it's a wee bit sad to be excited over a bit of software but for as long as I've had a computer I've run VirtualPC, Boot Camp, Fusion, you name it, pretty much just to be able to use EAC.

Time to dig out my trusty damaged discs and do some ripping tests.
